Presentation Transcript
Particle Review • Protons • Positive charge • Nucleus • Neutrons • No charge • Nucleus • Electrons • Negative charge • Surround nucleus in shells
What things mean on the Periodic Table • Atomic Number • Number of protons in nucleus • # of protons= # of electrons • Examples: • Hydrogen = 1 • Oxygen = 8 • Lead = 82 • Aluminum = 13 • Atomic mass • Total number of protons and neutrons • Protons= atomic number • Neutrons: • Atomic mass – atomic number
Sample problems • What is the atomic number for the following elements? • Sodium • Sulfur • Iron • Gold
